      emptywheel actively participated in a law enforcement investigation that she was actively covering, and then hid this fact from readers for many months. Media then took her claimed rationale at face value (as though collaborating with the FBI is normal journalistic activity)

      She also specifically admitted that she TURNED OVER A SOURCE TO THE FBI, proactively and voluntarily. This is supposed to be one of the worst sins of journalism: unforgivable treachery. But her rationale was barely even scrutinized. Instead, she was celebrated. Embarrassing.

      Here she admits that her collaborative activities were "appreciated" by the Special Counsel's office. I'm sure.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1098426284244377601 …

      For the benefit of @mtracey and others: I did not speak with Mueller. I spoke to another part of DOJ/FBI abt something understood to be separate. But I did give a heads up to Mueller's office I was going to write about it; they seemed appreciative I did.

      “Appreciate” she gave them the heads up that she was going to write about it. Dick Tracy you aren’t.

      Wow, a pun using a misspelled version of my surname. Brilliant. Very sad to see CounterPunch go down the tubes, I wonder what Alexander Cockburn would've thought about journalists collaborating with the FBI. (Actually, I know what he would've thought.)

      I am not defending her actions, just clarifying what she wrote. BTW, CounterPunch is doing fantastic, thanks for your concern though.

      Right, so you were just making an innocent "clarification" -- and decided to throw in a Dick Tracy joke (something I've definitely not heard ten million times in my life) -- not because you were defending her actions, because you just wanted to be helpful. Plausible story.

          I have no idea what she provided the FBI. Nor do you. So why speculate? At least she’s honest about speaking with them, whether I think she should of or not is irrelevant. However, I can defend her journalism, which I think speaks for itself.

          Have you considered whether the fact that she had an undisclosed personal stake in the investigation tainted her journalistic coverage of the investigation?
